Child Pugh class alone is unable to identify which of these class B or C patients have a sufficiently high probability of short- and long-term death to influence a decision regarding ICU admission.
Secondary endpoints included long-term death, myocardial infarction (MI) and revascularisation.
Long-term death for both strategies was reported in six studies.
For long-term death, the number of deaths was 58, and six factors were identified.
Rates of long-term death were lower for sepsis due to abdominal infections.
Sepsis survivors are at increased risk of long-term death, cognitive impairment and functional limitation [ 1– 9].
In the REGARDS cohort, individuals with sepsis exhibited increased rates of long-term death, even after accounting for comorbidities.
The reasons for the increased long-term death rate in survivors of acute WNV infection are not clear.
We used data from registries created for other purposes to avoid bias and were able to explore long-term death rates and adjust the data for comorbidity.
In adjusted Cox regression analysis, FVL carriers were at increased risk of long-term death compared to non-carriers (relative risk 1.78; 95% CI, 1.13 to 2.81).
